rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(189)

[w.hill]

Hi All,

I'm trying to do an installation on an Ultra 5.

I'm using the minimal 2005 CD

I'm up to the stage of "emerge --sync" After chrooting per the installation manual.

However I keep seeing the following error message. My SPARC is behind a firewall
but I also have a Blade 100 as well & I'm having no problems sync'ing on that box.

TIA
